WIKI INFORMATION:
Our Space: Eduwiki is a collaborative partnership between educators
across the world that enables us to instantly share ideas, resources,
projects, and more importantly to connect to one another.
Our Community: Eduwiki was initiated by a group of Pennsylvania
technology integrators interested in sharing great ideas and
resources. We then began to connect to teachers and administrators
from all over the world ranging from early childhood though higher
education. Our Who's Who page ( http://eduwikius.wikispaces.com/WHO%27s%20WHO ) was created to provide
a profile of each contributor on Eduwiki, in order for visitors to
easily connect to members via their email, blog, Skype or Twitter
address.
Our Experience with Wikispaces: When people have a simple efficient
place to share ideas, those ideas flow smoothly. With the flattening
of the world, we are seeing our students' needs changing faster than
we are prepared to keep up with. We can no longer be islands and
ignore the turbulence of the ocean around us. Wikispaces allows us to
communicate, collaborate and connect with others during the small
cracks of time we find during our school days and home lives. The
easy-to-use interface has made the technology learning curve almost
non-existent. Within minutes of becoming members, we are able to
contribute to the project. We ask our members to connect their
Wikispaces projects, blogs, podcasts, social networks and other
resources so we can bring our network closer and build bridges between
people. Wikispaces works, because we don't need to focus on technology
in order to make global collaboration happen.
